Miraculous minicomic: Two Lilas (Original Vs Impostor)

I've made this minicomic about my Miraculous AU: Two Lilas AU.

The scene (more detailed plot):

Cerise is disguised as "Lila" again. She officially "made her apologies" to Marinette for trying to ruin her life. In presence of Alya, Marinette seems to forgive her. Day after day, the bluenette begins to believe the super-liar has really changed considering her as a new friend.

But an intruder who tracked "Lila" enters to the punching room where Marinette, Alya and the targeted girl are. The intruder claim to be the real Lila and the other is an impostor who stolen her identity and sent her to the asylum nearly one year ago.

Marinette and Alya are confused and careful about this second Lila and they have some doubts.

She tells to the bluenette and the reporter girl they confront an insane identity usurpator since the beginning.

Lila 1: "You found out she just tells lies but you ignore she isn't in her real form. Her real name is..."

But the first Lila/Cerise cuts the line.

Lila 2: "She is lying. This creepy girl blackmailed and forced me to be the liar you previously knew me. She forced me to be sneaky toward every random person"

Lila 1: "False ! You won't trick anyone again. And remove your stupid disguise, "Cerise"."

Lila/Cerise (feral): "Not again !"

The two Lilas fight each other by wrestling. Cerise loses her wig during the fight.

Marinette suddenly interupts the two of them. And she wants questions and answers. Who says true ? Who lies ?

Marinette (annoyed): "That's enough, you two ! I want the truth: whowho is the real ? Who is the liar impostor among both you ?"

The two Lilas are more look alike than before the fight. They are both pixiecut/short hair, And now, it's difficult to identity the real Lila and the impostor who weared her wig.

Lila 1: "Have you doubt about me when I tell you that girl is the real manipulative liar you confronted before ?"

Lila 2: "Did you think me as an impostor, Marinette ? I am your friend. I even changed."

The two Lilas (simultaneously): "She is the one who stole me my identity. She is the super-liar."

Lila 1: "She has multiple identities. And her "redemption" is a lie."

Lila 2: "She comes to target you again. Don't listen her !"

Who tells the truth ? Will Lila be able to convince Marinette about being the real Lila as innocent ?

To be continued...

It's the sequel of my initial post about a concept with two Lilas in the same universe.

BODY DOUBLE (1984) DIR. BRIAN DE PALMER

[infamous-if]

Was thinking about 7 and started to wonder what it would be like romancing them as someone other than MC.

...then i remember your other game 😭

lololol body double is still a thing I’ve just been working on it bit by bit secretly since I’m kind of protective of it! unlike infamous this has plot and fictional lore so I’ve been just chipping away at it

I didn’t know I can make characters that are more emotionally inept than the infamous cast but the body double cast may have them beat pfft

except for seven. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to write a character as emotionally complicated as seven lmao

I have made drafts of Cerise... and Lila ?!

I've imagined a story about the existence of TWO(2) Lilas in the Miraculous universe.

I feel it's even a theory (more than an AU): What if there were in fact two Lilas ?!

I thought about that since a lot of months (approximatively since beginning 2023).

For this AU concept, there are two Lilas:

Lila Marina Rossi (the original girl)

"Cerise Bianca"/"Lila Rossi"/"Iris Verdi"/Chrysalis (the impostor)

And they look like identical each other.

The situation:

Lila confronts Cerise her identity usurper. In this AU, after Lila and her mom (already promoted ambassador) arrived to Paris, Cerise manipulated 'seduced' Lila in the first day. One day, Cerise betrays Lila by falsely sending her to the asylum.

In this AU, Cerise previously escaped from the asylum and she needed to trick the authorities.

We have got the "Lila Rossi" we actually know in the show (Volpina, Chameleon, trying to seducing Adrien, plotting revente against Marinette/Ladybug, using Chloé as a pawn for her own agenda, manipulating each adult woman/mother by pretending to be their daughter, working with Gabriel/Hawkmoth/Monarch and stealing the Butterfly miraculous to the latter).

One year later, the real Lila escapes from the asylum and tracks down her "other self": the fake Lila/Cerise/the girl who trapped her and stole her identity.

Meanwhile and of course, she doesn't suspect her nemesis has already a Miraculous for the evil. She risks to confront Chrysalis (Future Hawkmoth(?)).

Bonus:

-The real Lila (in patient uniform) confronts the fake Lila/ Cerise. That's since one year she seeks revenge, justice and truth. She just wants to retrieve back her normal life.

-an angry Lila is going to ambush Cerise: the latter (the superliar, the super impostor) had recently received her new wig (just another copy of her initial wig) and was becoming "Lila Rossi" again.

-Lila becomes mad to see "she is herself" the Alliance Ring avatar and the Gabriel fashion brand model.

BODY DOUBLE (1984) DIR. BRIAN DE PALMER

“The history of cinema is about men photographing women. I’ve made films with lots of men in them, like Scarface or The Untouchables. But if you’re interested in beauty, you’re interested in photographing women.”  —Brian De Palma, TCM, 2014

Riverdale Episode 103: Body Double by the Afictionados Podcast Network

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

top ten first watches of 2023?

I assume you mean films, right? Anyway, top 10 in no particular order.

Crash was a long time coming, but it took a podcast I used to listen to weekly to finally get to this Cronenberg classic. Bodily modifications? Violent eroticism? Body as a machine? Death & eroticism? It has it all and much more.

For those of you in your 20s and 30s (or even older) who feel alienated in the urban landscape, surrounded by crowds whilst feeling lonely and yearning for any type of human connection, this film is for you.

It's no secret that Brian de Palma wanted to be Hitchcock since he was a baby (I assume, but it sure does look so). You can see it in so many movies of his and Body Double is a perfect example. It even has the misogyny down to a T. But it's also really good and I'm a fan of voyeurism in cinema (from a critical position mostly). This is like Rear Window and Vertigo mashed together, but with 80s hair.

Now this was probably the highlight for me this year. Editor by day, sex worker by night, Kathleen Turner is a force in this film, alongside Anthony Perkins, the perverted priest. But if that is not enough to do the trick, the cinematography and that anal sex scene might do the trick 😉

Who knew Joan Crawford had such a big issue with wire hangers? Not me, but I sure found out in that crazy scene that has one of the most memorable meltdowns in cinema. Every shot of Faye Dunaway screams "I want that Oscar, god damn it!"

Fedora is the late 70s version of Sunset Boulevard and it has the same director. Not as good as that classic, but my god, the clothes! I'd watch it again just for the clothes, particularly that white suit Fedora is wearing in the garden of her villa when she receives that honorary Oscar.

I don't think there's any Paul Schrader film that I didn't like. It wouldn't make sense to call him underrated, but he's better than others from that 1970s gang (cough *de Palma* cough). In Hardcore, a father finds out his daughter went to Los Angeles and started acting in porn. He gets the confirmation when he actually sees her in one film in some shady movie theater. It's a weird and very uncomfortable scene and by comparison, not much, knowing how it will unfold later.

Of course Madonna is always in control of her image and what she allows to be seen or how she comes across. But that doesn't mean there's nothing genuine there, on the contrary. And the camera captures that. The backstage, the everyday conversations, the relationship with the dancers. Real people with real emotions and the more darker parts are allowed to slip in through the cracks. On top of that, it has footage from her tour in 90-91, a reminder of how Madonna is one of the best performers out there, making me wish there'd be a time machine so I can see her live during that time.

For anyone who is a fan of Sex and The City, how about a late 1930s version? Fast pace dialogue, outfits to die for and a cast made almost entirely of women.

The second Cronenberg on the 2023 list. I watched M. Butterfly after seeing Madame Butterfly at the opera. The film is slightly different and it deals with some of my favorite themes in fiction and media lately: gender identities, criticism of colonialism, orientalist fantasies that obscure realities and so much more.
